Editing Daily Life Under the Shadow (section)

====Northern Erenland====
While all of the traditionally Dornish lands have been
ravaged and plundered over the last 100 years, there remain
vast distances in which to avoid the gaze of the Shadow or the
wrath of his legions. Much of this area has been raped of what
resources it has to offer, however, and is cursed by foul
weather, the restless souls of the Lost, or dangerous creatures
that have followed the orc hordes down from the north. The
region north and east of Bastion, though covered in tall sword
grass and subject to the full fury of the winter storms from the
north, has few orc garrisons, and those are tied to key villages
and old Fortress Wall keeps. In the barren wilds north of Steel
Hill, nearly feral Dorn tribes subsist on wild boro herds and
scavenge what wild roots and edible vegetation they can
gather, and may never see an orc legion. While marginally
free, the Dorns of these areas live such miserable and harsh
existences that one might question whether slavery would be
better.
Farther south, in the more fertile lands, most of the
Dornish villages are under the Shadow’s control. A few, isolated
by dense forests or extremely rugged terrain, have
escaped the Shadow’s notice. The only other free areas in
which the Dorns cower are along the eaves of Erethor and in
the foothills of the Kaladruns. There, with sanctuaries close at
hand, the Dorns can mount raids and hide refugees, building
villages in isolated clearings or forgotten valleys.
